In this work, we develop a planner for high-speed navigation in unknown environments, for
example reaching a goal in an unknown building in minimum time, or flying as fast as …

We address the problem of verifying motion plans for aerial robots in uncertain and partially-
known environments. Thereby, the initial state of the robot is uncertain due to errors from the …

Autonomous mobile robots are required to operate in partially known and unstructured
environments. It is imperative to guarantee safety of such systems for their successful …

Abstract—Autonomous helicopters are required to fly at a wide range of speed close to
ground and eventually land in an unprepared cluttered area. Existing planning systems for …

This paper describes the Tactical Autonomous Aerial LOgistics System (TALOS), developed
and flight tested during the first phase of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Autonomous …

Autonomous flight of unmanned full‐size rotor‐craft has the potential to enable many new
applications. However, the dynamics of these aircraft, prevailing wind conditions, the need to …

Monitoring large scale environments is a crucial task for managing remote alpine
environments, especially for hazardous events such as avalanches. One key information for …

Capabilities of mobile autonomous systems is often limited by the sensory constraints.
Range sensors moving in a fixed pattern are commonly used as sensing modalities on …

Mobile robots are increasingly being deployed in the real world in response to a heightened
demand for applications such as transportation, delivery and inspection. The motion …

Reliable and efficient acquisition of data from physical spaces has widespread applications
in industry, policy, defense, and humanitarian work. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are …
